I know what you’re thinking, season edit in February? Well, my season got cut short by an injury. These things happen, and I’m bummed I’m most likely going to miss the rest of the winter.
On the bright side, I can say I pushed myself and progressed this year more than I ever thought I could, or would. I quit competing years ago and have a desk job now, but something has been pushing me to stay motivated and sending as hard as I can. Stupid? Maybe. Any regrets? Hell no, it’s what I live for.
Here’s a compilation of my favorite gaperpro clips from this year. Lots of good times chasing pow and hucking my meat.
Stay sendy my friends, and enjoy every day you ski or board like it’s your last.
The corny rant is over, peace!
After the lifts stopped spinning for the season I wasn’t ready to hang up the skis yet. With a little help from friends, I set out to build a continuous line down the frontside of the mountain. It took us 2 days to build, test, and shoot the whole line. Enjoy!
